Proofs are given that the quantum-mechanical description of the LC-circuit with a time dependent external source can be readily established by starting from a more general discretization rule of the electric charge. For this purpose one resorts to an arbitrary but integer-dependent real function F (n) instead of n. This results in a nontrivial generalization of the discrete time dependent Schrödinger-equation established before via F (n) = n, as well as to modified charge conservation laws. However, selected descriptions can also be done by looking for a unique derivation of the effective inductance. This leads to site independent inductances, but site dependent ones get implied by accounting for periodic solutions to F (n) in terms of Jacobian elliptic functions. Many-charge generalizations of quantum circuits, including the modified continuity equation for total charge and current densities, have also been discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
